Wakefield Genealogy

Moving to WordPress

2009-09-14T20:45:00.003-04:00

After finally getting many personal and professional tasks in order over the last year, I am now able to devote time to my real passion: my genealogical research. I am cleaning up the site and moving it to WordPress as I have found it easier to navigate, more user friendly (for you), and attaching and sharing documents is much easier to do.

With the renewed focus on my genealogical research I am doing several things to share more information with you:

1. Cleaning and reoganizing website content.
2. Redoing my research to comply with NGS standards regarding documentation and references. Previous research was not referenced appropriately. I recently purchased Legacy software for this task.
3. Will be scanning research documents and making the documents available online. Documents will be completely searchable PDF documents. I will likely be scanning and posting documents as I reenter the information into my family tree software.
4. Creating a new, interactive map that references significant Wakefield family sites. This map should grow to be a significant family research resource.

I have already begun migrating information to the new site. Please update you links as appropriate.

Morganton Register

2008-09-28T19:08:00.002-04:00

While I was at the Burke County, NC library in Morganton, I had the opportunity to meet library volunteer and fellow genealogist Sandy West while doing my research. I was excited to hear that Sandy and fellow Burke County genealogist are documenting and researching the contents of a priceless Morganton store register from the 1790s. I was able to see the register first hand while Sandy reviewed entries for her research. I later reviewed some of the research that have been completed and found several references to Wakefields in the book. I recall seeing Henry Wakefield in the book several times. It was quite an honor to be able to see it knowing there are Wakefield entries in the book.

Once further progress has been made on their research, Sandy said she would provide me information on the Wakefield entries. I will inturn provide her with a Wakefield narrative on the individuals and families listed in the book. Quite an unexpected and exciting development.

The register was found in ol' outhouse!

DNA Analysis

2008-08-07T17:10:00.006-04:00

Results of DNA Testing

As a result of our analysis we opted to use FamilyTreeDNA for our DNA testing. It tooks a few weeks to turn around the results but that is probably to be expected. The results of my grandpa's, Willard Darrell Wakefield, DNA tests were as follows:

The testing has confirmed our beliefs that the Wakefield line originated in Western Europe. My grandpa is a member of the R1b1 haplogroup. A Google search for the R1b1 group produced the following information from Ancestry.com, Wikipedia, and The Cheek Family site:

These map clearly show us that the R1b1 haplogroup is concentrated in Western Europe.

Haplogroup R1b1 (M343, P25) (Western Europeans)

This is the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in western Europe. The frequency of R1b1 is highest along the Atlantic coast of Europe (up to 90% of Welsh, Irish, and Basque populations, for example), and declines as you move east. Haplogroup R1b1 probably originated in a group of people who "wintered" in what is now Spain during the last Ice Age and then moved north when the glaciers melted 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The ancestors of R1b1 were probably the Paleolithic people of western Europe, famous for their cave paintings in Lascaux, France and other archeological sites.

Additional facts about the R1b1 haplogroup:

Haplogroup R1b1 is also the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in the white U.S. population. As of May 2008, nearly 70% of the Y-DNA results submitted to the Ybase website were Haplogroup R1b, while only 17% were Haplogroup I and 7% were Haplogroup R1a. A 2005 study found that 58% of white American males are in Haplogroup R1b.

R1b1 Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype.

Ancestry.com had the following information on the R1b haplogroup:

Paternal Ancient Ancestry Haplogroup R1b first arrived first arrived in Europe from West Asia during the Upper Paleolithic period (35,000-40,000 years ago) at the beginning of the Aurignacian culture. This culture is one of the first within Europe to leave cave art, and their stone tools were more refined than previous periods. The Périgordian culture is also thought by some to have existed at this time.

As the last ice age began, it became necessary to move down to below the tree line to hunt game. At its peak, the ice shelf within Europe extended down as far as southern Ireland, the middle of England and across northern Germany. Scandinavia was entirely covered. The sea ice pack extended as far as northern Spain, and tundra covered much of continental Europe. The tree line at the height of the ice age extended as far south as southern France, northern Italy, the northern Balkans and across the Black Sea.

People with Haplogroup R1 Y-chromosomes retreated to below these regions where they established themselves. As the ice age ended and the fauna and flora were able to move northward again, people in R1b also migrated north. Haplogroup R1 appears in about 50% of the total European population whereas R1b remains by far the most common haplogroup in western Europe (Spain, Portugal, France, UK and Ireland). R1b3, one of the most successful clades, has its origins about 11,800 years ago. Within the British Isles, a genetic pattern called the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH) features greatly among the Irish and Welsh. Some researchers consider this haplotype to be representative of the early Celtic migrations. Haplogroup R1b is prevalent within South America because of the influx of Iberian Y chromosomes to the continent over the last 500 years.

Shirley Family Cemetery

2008-07-24T17:42:00.010-04:00

According to a brief reference to the family cemetery in my research material, I set out Tuesday morning to try and locate the cemetery. The cemetery is located on what was an old Shirley family farm behind what once was the house that was on the property. The farm was located on Branyon road just west of the Keowee Church and resides about 1 mile south of the church.

I spoke with a few homeowners in the area and a couple of them remember the cemtery being there but were unsure where it was located. After about an hour of talking to homeowners in the area and searching the property I finally found the cemetery after finding a chain link fence with a gate that was obscured by hay bails. In the cemetery I found several headstones but they were in very, very poor condition. Only one, Nathaniel Shirley, was in good shape and could be read. It was great to find it but any hopes of learning more about the family members buried there is long gone.

Trip to Abbeville, SC

2008-07-24T15:56:00.009-04:00

On Tuesday, July 22, I took a day off of work and spent the day in Abbeville, SC, the home of our ancestors in the late 1700s and early 1800s. It was in communities around Abbeville that our Wakefield ancestors met, among others, the Shirley, Clinskcales, and Kay families.

I spent the night at the Hearthside Manor Bed and Breakfast in Abbeville and then early in the morning I visited a few of the cemeteries in the area looking for some of our ancestors. I visited the cemetery in Due West, Little River Church's cemetery, Keowee Church's cemetery, and, after nearly an hour of searching the Shirley family cemetery.

With temperatures approaching 100 degrees, I made my way through historic downtown Abbeville to do research at the Abbeville Library. The library had a fair number of books and maps on the counties history and several that contained significant family history items. I made copies of various maps that showed home owners in the Abbeville area from the late 1700s to the late 1800s. After 4 hours of reviewing nearly all of the genealogical material at the library and making copies of the relevant material I made my way to Antreville.

Antreville is an unicorporated area of Abbeville County that is just a few miles from the Abbeville-Anderson county line. This area is almost exactly half-way between the cities of Anderson and Abbeville and was where the Temple of Health, a early 1800s way-point was located. According to some other research material I have found, The Temple of Health was owned by Wakefields in the early 1800s. After reviewing maps from 1825, the late 1800s, and today I determined what I believe was the location of the house that was once the Temple of Health. Over 200 years old, the house is in poor condition and is currently vacant. It was exciting to have finally found the home that was owned by our family so many years ago but sad at the same time seeing that it was in need of some serious repair and renovation work.

After taking photos of the Temple of Health I continued on my way to Anderson where I passed the First Creek Baptist Church that was just across the county line in Anderson County. In preparing for my trip to Abbeville I noted that church's cemetery was the final resting place for Wakefields who resided in the area. I gave up trying to locate the church since it was in Anderson County and felt that it might be out-of-the-way and not possible to visit on this short of a trip. Well, imagine my surprise when I came around the bend and saw the church right in front of me just a few miles away from the Temple of Health. I took advantage of the opportunity that was presented to me and stopped to take photos of the graves. Sure enough, there were several Wakefields present in the cemetery. Lucky us.

After about 30 minutes at the cemetery I made my way to Anderson for an hour's worth of research at the Anderson County Library. Their family history room was only open until 7 so I had my work cut out for me to find any information that might be of interest. In that short period of time I reviewed their family history collection and did not uncovered any new material. Their maps were also reviewed and I made copies of various maps and purchased two others from the library. Some of the maps from the 1800s show Wakefields living in the area near the Anderson-Abbeville County line on the road between The Temple of Health and First Creek Baptist Church. Pretty cool to see.

Some interesting things about the area:
- Saw several roads in Anderson and Abbeville Counties named after allied families including Kay and Clinkscales.
- Many of the scenes from the movie Sleeping with the Enemy starring Julia Roberts were filmed in and around Abbeville.
- Abbeville is called the "Birthplace and Deathbed of the Confederacy", because it was here that Jefferson Davis made some of his most important decisions as President of the Confederacy. On what is now known as Secession Hill, the meeting which launched the state's secession from the Union took place on Nov. 22, 1860. Five years later in 1865, Jefferson Davis and his cabinet decided to dissolve the Confederacy at the Burt Stark Mansion, a stately home right off from Abbeville's historic Court Square.
- Abbeville was settled in 1758 by a group French Huguenots. In 2008, Abbeville will be celebrating its 250th anniversary.
- This is an interesting look at the early history of the First Creek Baptist Church.
- I also visit the Shiloh Cemetery located just a mile or two south of the Antreville. Almost forgot about that.

Future posts will contain more information, pictures, and maps from my trip.

Best,
Chris

Ethel Wakefield

2008-07-19T12:44:00.017-04:00

Ethel Wakefield, daughter of Isaac Wakefield and Emma Means, was born on October 9, 1883. She married twice and had one daughter, Falba Brindley. Based on her obituary I believe she was married to Paul Brindley then Guilford Means. In effort to try and put some dates around these marriages I investigated Ethel and her spouses a little more closely.

Findings:
1. Ethel was married first to Clyde A. Brindley. Unsure if Paul was a nickname for Clyde or just a mistake in the obituary.

2. Ethel was married second to Gilford Means. Guilford is what appeared in the obituary for Ethel and actually appears in the WWI Draft card as Guilford. It is possible that over the years Gilford dropped the 'u' from his name but based on the 1900 census where he is listed as Gilford in his parent's household I am assuming that Gilford is the correct spelling.

3. Ethel was divorced from Clyde during the 1920s as Ethel is found with her daughter Falba and her husband in the 1930 census and Clyde is alone found in Hamilton County, Ohio.

4. Gilford and Ethel married sometime after 1930 and before 1942 as Gilford lists Ethel as his wife on his WWII draft card.

5. Gilford's marriage to Ethel was his second. He was first married to Angie May Wendel. She was present on the 1920 census with Gilford and their son, Earl, but passed away sometime in the 1920s as Gilford is shown as widowed in the 1930 census.

6. Based on a few user trees that have been submitted to Ancestry it is believed they were married on 24 Jan 1906 in Shelby County, Indiana.

Davis Family Pictures

2008-03-25T19:02:00.004-04:00

Recently, I have been doing more research on our Franklin County, Indiana ancestors in an effort to better understand the families from this area and their history in the hopes that it may lead to a breakthrough in regards to James Wakefield's parents. No breakthrough yet but I did come across the following pictures of Davis and Wakefield family members posted on the Franklin County rootsweb site by Frank Dickson of Napavine, Washington. Frank, if you are out there, I would love to talk to you.

Sitting (L to R): Jonathan Davis and William Henry Davis
Standing (L to R): Levi Davis and Henry Davis

These four men are children of Thorton Davis and Sarah Wakefield.

Sitting (L to R): George Davis, Sarah (Higgs) Davis, William Davis, Stella Davis
Standing (L to R): Captora Davis, John Davis, Andrew Davis, Henry Davis, and Debra Davis.

If you look on page 11 of the Davis and Wakefield book by Laura A. Davis Shoptaugh you will find the family of William Davis and Sarah Higgs. The following is from the book:

William Davis (Thorton Davis (2), Travis Davis (1)) was born in Franklin County, Indiana in 1836 and died around 1912 and was buried in Montana. He married Sarah Higgs, daughter of Samuel and Lavica (Wakefield) Higgs. Around 1869, they moved to a farm 4 miles north of Unionville in Putnam County, Missouri. Around 1885 or 1886 they moved to southeast Putnum County. Later they moved to Montana.

William and Sarah had the following children:
1. John Davis - b. 1858? and married Lucy Jump, b. 1860.
2. Elnora Davis - b. 2/22/1860 and married 8/23/1880 to Simon Howard, b. 1859. They resided in Sidney, Montana.
3. Captoria Davis - b. 2/22/1860 and married 6/2/1876 to Uriah Dooley. Captoria died 9/14/1950.
4. Deborah Davis - b. 1864 and married 12/19/1885 to Samuel Dooley, b. 1858. They moved to Montana.
5. George Davis - b. 1866 and never married.
6. Andrew Davis - b. 9/27/1867 and married Maggie Blachter. They lived in Nebraska and later in Culbertson, Montana.
7. Rosetta Davis - b. 1870? and died young.
8. Henry Davis - b. 1871? and married 12/14/1891 to Sally Jump, b. 1873.

Notes:

Uriah and Samuel Dooley were sons of Jacob Dooley and Margaret Wakefield. Margaret was the daughter of William Wakefield.

Frank Dickson added information about the people in the photos. The information needs to be validated but it does provide more details.

William Davis born Jun 29, 1834 and died Nov 1, 1910.

Sara (Higgs) Davis died Mar 5, 1910 and her parents are listed as Truman and Deborah Sullivan Higgs. At this time I am more apt to believe her parents are Samuel and Lavica Higgs.

John Davis born Feb 8, 1859 and died Mar 8, 1918.

Captora Davis born Feb 22, 1860 and died Sep 13, 1950.

Debra Davis born Feb 23, 1864 and died Jan 25, 1931.

Andrew Davis born Sep 27, 1866 and died Apr 11, 1957.

Stella Davis born Jan 25, 1868 and died Dec 6, 1916.

George Davis born Dec 10, 1870.

Henry Davis born Feb 23, 1873 and died in 1917.

You may recall my posting a few months back on the Davis and Wakefield families in the Franklin County area. These are some of the people I mentioned in that post.

Abel Wakefield in Franklin County, IN

2008-02-23T09:13:00.014-05:00

Based on Abel Wakefield’s Revolutionary War pension application we know that Abel was in Franklin County, IN after South Carolina and before Lawrence County, Tennessee. It was in Lawrence County that he filed his pension application, was present in the 1830 census, and passed away in 1835.

This past weekend I spent hours scouring Franklin County, IN historical documents trying to find proof beyond the 1820 federal census that Abel was in Franklin County. Hour after hour passed and I could not find ANYTHING. He did not buy any land. He did not sell any land. He was not mentioned in any church records. He was nowhere to be found. I was finally down to my last straw: scouring for a match in the miscellaneous records of the county. Then it happened. Abel Wakefield. Proof. I found it. In the miscellaneous records microfiche among documents soiled at some point in their history but beautiful in my eyes. In all, there were four references made of Abel Wakefield in the years of 1817 to 1823. Perhaps the most significant find was a plat map of the town of Brookville, IN from the late 1810s. In that map we find the “Waikfield” family sharing a home with the Davis family at 26 Market Street. Amazingly cool.

1817 – Tax Assessment List

Wakefield, Abel – Owned 2 horses and was assessed a tax of 75 cents.

Davises present in the tax assessment list:

Davis, Nathaniel – Owned two town lots, 4 and 5 on plat, with a valuation of $60. Assessed a tax of .30.
Davis, George - Owned 2 horses and was assessed a tax of 75 cents.
Davis, James - Owned 2 horses and was assessed a tax of 75 cents.
Davis, William - Owned 1 horse and was assessed a tax of 37 1/2 cents.
Davis, Lewis – Owned 3 horses, 2 town lots with a valuation of $600, and was assessed a tax of $4.125.
Davis, Eli - Owned 1 horse and was assessed a tax of 37 1/2 cents.
Davis, William - Owned 1 horse and was assessed a tax of 37 1/2 cents.
Davis, Traverse (?)- Owned 1 horse and was assessed a tax of 37 1/2 cents.
Davis, John F. - Owned 1 horse and was assessed a tax of 37 1/2 cents.
Davis, William - Owned 1 horse and was assessed a tax of 37 1/2 cents.
Davis, Israel - Owned 1 horse and was assessed a tax of 37 1/2 cents.
Davis, Robert William - Owned 2 horses and was assessed a tax of 75 cents.
Davis, Paul - Owned 2 horses and was assessed a tax of 75 cents.

1819 Tax Assessment List

Wakefield, Abel – Owned 2 horses.

Davises present in the tax assessment list:

Davis, John F. - 1 Horse
Davis, William – 1 Horse
Davis, John – 1 Horse
Davis, William (MI not legible) – 1 Horse
Davis, James – 2 Horses
Davis, Bartholany – 2 Horses
Davis, Zarcah (?) – 1 Horse
Davis, Israel – 2 Horses
Davis, Zacriah – 1 Horse Davis, William – 1 Horse, Owned 2 town lots at plat number 11, valuation was three dollars and it appears the land was in Greensburg.

Brookville Township, [Franklin County,] IN - 1823 – Poll Tax

Although not specifically stated or labeled as such, the list appears to be a poll tax list for the township based on the content.

Wakefield, Able

Also included in this list are the following Davises:

Davis, John – Owned land in Township 9, Range 2. Appears that the land was deeded and had a value of $108.
Davis, David H
Davis, John F.
Davis, Eliaz (?)
Davis, Nathan
Davis, John

None of the other Davis had any land included on the assessment but each was awarded a poll. Abel Wakefield was not awarded a poll. I am inclined to believe that he and his wife, who were nearly 60 years at this point in time, were living with Davises in the town of Brookville.

Genealogical DNA

2008-02-21T10:00:00.004-05:00

After an extended discussion with my grandparents about genealogical DNA testing and the genealogical benefits that can be realized, they have agreed to participate. Getting them on-board was the first step. The next step is figuring out which company to utilize. To compare and contrast the genealogical DNA companies the following criteria will be utilized:

Number of participants. The larger the participant pool the greater the chance of finding a match.
Cost/Number of markers. Cost has to factor in at some point although we are willing to spend a fair amount of money to ensure the right test is performed with the right company. In addition, tests that offer fewer than 30 markers will not be considered due to
Ability to transfer results to/from other genealogical DNA sites. Many genealogical DNA companies will accept results from other sites so careful planning can yield coverage at multiple sites.
Costs to transfer results. If a company is willing to accept the results from other companies is there a fee involved? Some companies do if for free while others do charge a substantial fee.
Results and reports. The ability to match others is the primary reasons we are conducting these tests. The ability to easily and effectively navigate the site and investigate possible matches is of importance. Additionally, the reports themselves are also of importance. If they are not easy to read or understand then they will likely become a hindrance instead of a benefit. Finally, notifications of possible matches as they become available are important.
Existing, related DNA participants. Obviously, we are looking to find family connections and if the site is void of Wakefield or associated family participants then that company will likely be eliminated from consideration.

For the sake of the analysis the following companies were selected as possible companies to be included in the analysis:

Ancestry
DNA Heritage
EthnoAncestry
FamilyTreeDNA
GeneBase
GeneTree
iGENEA
National Geographic Genographic Project
Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation

Ancestry.com

Ancestry.com is a leading genealogical site that has recently extended their service offerings to include genealogical DNA services. They are a leader in the industry and there venture into genealogical DNA services will surely be a success. At this time they have less than 50,000 participants but I anticipate that will increase substantially over the next year or two. Also impressive is there reporting features. I found their interfaces and reporting features to be the best of all companies reviewed. Ancestry offers a 46 marker paternal like test for just $219. Here are a few screen shots of their reports:

DNA Heritage

DNA Heritage offers testers the ability to select which markers, of the 43 available, to include in their test. All 43 markers can be tested for just $199. Results could be shared with others sites with DNA Heritage promoting their public DNA sharing site, Ybase. The Ybase site has over 9000 surnames.

EthnoAncestry

EthnoAncestry offers a 45 marker test for $349. The costs were high compared to competing sites and the website was not very well structured or well organized. Due to the inability to effectively navigate the site and look up other participants and surnames and their inability to take the results of the test and present the results in effective, meaningful reports and analysis for the testers I am ruling this company out.

FamilyTreeDNA

FamilyTreeDNA is the leader in genealogical DNA analysis. Their database has over 4600 surname groups, nearly 120,000 Y-DNA (male) test records, and over 61,000 mtDNA (female) records. The company offers three Y-DNA tests although we would only consider two of the tests, 37 markers and 67 markers, due to the number of markers offered.

When considered purchasing a test from FamilyTreeDNA be sure to locate your surname or a reasonable close associated family so that the costs of test will be less. If you belong to a surname group the cost of the 67 marker test is reduced by 23% to just $269. You can always join other surname groups after the initial test results have been completed.

They do charge material fees (in excess of $150) for the integration of DNA from other companies.

GeneBase

GeneBase offers a 44 marker test for $199. Currently there are just over 36,000 participants in the database. After reviewing the site, I got the impression that there was a lot of flash but no substance. Information was not easily found which is a issue for me.

GeneTree

GeneTree a very young company that is just getting started. They have the backing of Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, a leading genetic-genealogy company, but due to their lack of longevity and participants they are ruled out from further analysis.

iGENEA

iGENEA is a subsidiary of the same company that FamilyTreeDNA is a member. It appears that iGENEA is the European version of the FamilyTreeDNA site so for our analysis and consideration iGENEA will be ruled out from further analysis since FamilyTreeDNA represents the company for our purposes.

National Geographic Genographic Project

The National Geographic Genographic Project is a project designed to provide insight into one's deep ancestral roots. It is not meant to be a source of finding common ancestors among the participants but a research project to analyze migration and evolutionary of people throughout the world. A noble and worthwhile project that is worthy of joining at a later date.

Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation

Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation has over 70,000 records in their database but only 23,000 of those are paternal tests. There is a partnership with the Latter Day Saints' site familysearch.org that marries the information from the DNA results with family records on familysearch.org. There were two Wakefield entries found in the database.

THE DECISION

In reviewing the companies offering genealogical DNA services it became evident that the number of participants and whether or not surname, or family, participants were already apart of the program were going to weigh heavily in the analysis. Additionally, leveraging the generosity of the various sites to accept the result from competing sites was also going to be a key factor in choosing the company.

In comparing the companies, the list of possible companies was quickly pared down to just four companies: Ancestry, DNA Heritage, FamilyTreeDNA, and GeneBase. DNA Heritage should only be used if a test was the only thing that was needed. That is not our goal at this time so they will be removed from consideration. Compared to Ancestry and FamilyTreeDNA, Genebase did not have nearly as many participants, especially participants we would be interested in, and the site was not easy to navigate. As a result, the top two companies were Ancestry and FamilyTreeDNA. Ancestry, in the long-term may become the leader due to their already significant number of users of their many services but for now and the immediate future the leader is FamilyTreeDNA. If we could do both that would be great but the costs would be doubled. Or would they?

After reviewing the various genealogical DNA companies I have decided to have my grandpa, Willard D. Wakefield, submit his DNA to FamilyTreeDNA. The large number of participants, the Wakefield and associated families like the Shirleys that are already in the database, the ability to take a more thorough test at a reasonable cost, and the ability to transfer the results to other sites at little or no cost were the leading reasons why FamilyTreeDNA was selected.

For my grandpa’s Wakefield line, we are going to take the 67 marker test offered for paternal relationship analysis. Once we have the results we will share those results with the Ybase database, Ancestry.com, and any other site that will accept the results from FamilyTreeDNA. By taking the most thorough test possible more matches and more accurate matches will be made, sharing with others site should be feasible since most markers would be covered by the 67 marker test, and we will be better positioned for future test that may include the same or more markers in their analysis. By going with FTDNA we are able to leverage the industry's leading company to our advantage and get the benefits of multiple company sites with only a small of money being spent. By far the best plan I could come up with to get the biggest bang for the buck. Hope this brief review and advise helps you in your DNA considerations.

Recommended steps for Wakefield Genealogical DNA Participants:

Go to Wakefield Surname group on FamilyTreeDNA and select 37 or 67 marker test. Absolutely do it through the surname group as there is a substantial discount for doing so.

Jesse F. Wakefield's Enlistment Photograph

2008-02-18T00:55:00.002-05:00

When you finally join the military one of the first things you do is get a photograph of yourself in uniform for yourself but mostly for your family back home. Often the uniform is only a "half" uniform just large enough to accommodate the photograph. This photograph of Jesse Farris Franklin Wakefield from 1943 is likely one of those photographs. His enlistment, at the time of this photograph, is likely just beginning.

Willard Totten WAKEFIELD was born on March 16, 1903 in Madison, IN. He died in 1964. He was married to Loretta Elizabeth BRUTHER (daughter of Jesse F. BRUTHER and Elizabeth "Lizzie" LOWRY) on October 16, 1922 in LaFayette, Indiana. Loretta Elizabeth BRUTHER was born on June 17, 1905. She died on September 15, 1974.

Willard Totten WAKEFIELD and Loretta Elizabeth BRUTHER had the following children:

+11 Jesse Farris Franklin WAKEFIELD (born on April 8, 1923).
+12 Clifford Ray WAKEFIELD (born on September 12, 1924).
+13 Willard Darrell WAKEFIELD (born on March 31, 1928).
+14 Richard Dale WAKEFIELD (born on May 22, 1931).

Siberts, Lollars, and Wakefields in Indiana

2008-02-17T22:35:00.004-05:00

From a book compiled by the Bartholomew County Genealogical Society about Bartholomew County, Indiana history the following was found amongst the county's family histories:

PETER SIBERT - Peter Sibert was b. 10 November 1808, Washington Co., Kentucky, the eldest child of John and Sarah (Barlow) Sibert. The Sibert family came to Bartholomew Co. about 1822. Peter m. 24 September 1829 Rebecca Lollar (1811 - 1903), believed to be the daughter of Thomas Lollar and Mary "Polly" Wakefield. The Wakefields and Lawler/Lollar families came from North and South Carolina to Franklin Co., Indiana, in the early 1800s.

Peter Sibert d. 2 September 1849, during a cholera epidemic, and is presumed to be buried in an unmarked grave at Harmony Cementary in Sandcreek Twp. He and Rebecca had 7 children: John H., Mary Jane, Sarah, Mable Ann and triplets Benjamin F., Nancy and (possibly) Martha.

Peter's widow Rebecca m. second Joel "Tad" Williams, 16 December 1849. They had a daughter, Amanda E. Williams, b. c. 1853. Rebecca m. third Robert Robertson, 26 November 1868, and moved to Jasper Co., Illinois.

John Herod Sibert, first child of Peter and Rebecca, was b. c 1830 in Bartholomew Co. He m. 18 August 1853, Jane Lane.

Mary Jane Sibert, b. 1833, m. 16 December 1847, Samuel Hubbel. Only 14 when she married, she d. 1 October 1848, probably in childbirth. Her infant son Benjamin is buried beside her, age 11 mos, 21 days. Samuel Hubbel, b. 1823, d. 3 September 1849, likely of cholera.

Sarah "Sally" Catharine Sibert, b. c. 1836, m. 9 October 1851 William Tyner Wakefield. They moved to Appanoose Co., Iowa.

Mabel Ann Sibert (10 December 1838-19 November 1899) m. 9 June 1853, Marion Jones. See their seperate biography.

Benjamin Franklin Sibert, one of the three triplets was b. 15 July 1844 d. 23 May 1934, buried at Hickory Hill (Durnal) Cemetery in Brown Co., Indiana. After his service in the Civil War, Co. A., 93rd Reg., Benjamin m. (1) Susan V. Coffman, 21 March 1867. They had 4 children before her death. The children were Mary (Mrs. George Rockwell, of Clifford); Mrs. Bertha Sherman, of Dugger, Indiana; and sons John and Charlie Sibert, both of Floyd, Iowa. Benjamin m. (2) Annis Bradley 13 November 1877, in Brown Co. They has one child, possibly Robert Sibert, who died in Los Angeles, December 1930. Benjamin m. (3) on 13 April 1886, Sarah Bradley (1850-1943), in Bartholomew Co. They had one son, Forest. Sarah also had a daughter, Josephine (1882-1965), who took the name Sibert. Nancy Sibert, triplet, n. 15 July 1844, died young, probably buried in unmarked grave at Harmony Cemetery. Submitted by Newton A. Wilson, St. Petersburg, FL.

[Interpretation: William Tyner Wakefield is the son of William Wakefield and Polly Shirley. Mary "Polly" Wakefield is William's sister, William Tyner Wakefield's Aunt, and the daughter of Abel Wakefield that married Mary Ann Branson. Sarah "Sally" Catherine Sibert is Mary "Polly" Wakefield's granddaughter. Not quite first cousins but pretty close.

Abel Wakefield, who was born in SC and died a Revolutionary War Veteran in Lawrence County, TN, is a brother of William and Mary "Polly".

Additionally, take notice of the devasting effects cholera had on the family in the September of 1849.]

Wakefield's History of the Black Hawk War

2008-02-17T10:37:00.003-05:00

John Wakefield was one of the first militiamen called to the colors to fight Chief Blackhawk's incursion into Illinois. Instead of returning home when his first term expired, Wakefield stayed on as a volunteer scout and surgeon's mate for the length of the war. His account, reproduced here, is one of the few primary accounts that covers the entire war. Unlike other memoirists of the war, Wakefield wrote his account almost immediately after he returned home.

Wakefield's story is more than an eyewitness view of the war. His work provides a unique insight into the racial hatred at the core of this war. His acocunt also highlights how just how tenuous state and federal governmental control was during this part of American history. This primary work provides a useful tool for examining the social structure of the Illinois frontier. Because of the uniques insights provided, Wakefield's work should be seen as something more than a simple military history.

The edition used for the online version is the second one, reprinted in 1907. Since most of the copies of the first edition were destroyed and only a handful (200) of the second were made, Wakefield's account is exceedingly difficult to find. Full citation for the work is: Wakefield's History of the Blackhawk War: A Reprint of the First Edition By John A. Wakefield, Esquire, From the Press of Calvin Goudy, Jacksonville, Illinois, 1834, Frank Everett Stevens, Chicago: Caxton Club, 1908.

John Allen Wakefield

Biography by Frank Stevens

JOHN ALLEN WAKEFIELD, second son of William and Diana (Varner) Wakefield, was born February 11, 1797, at Pendleton, South Carolina. The father was a native of North Carolina, of Scotch Irish ancestry. The mother (who died at Quincy, Illinois, at the age of nearly 107 years) was a native of South Carolina, of Scotch-Irish and French Huguenot ancestry. The father, William, a man of education, spent most of his manhood as a teacher. John Allen received his name in honor of Major-General John Allen of Virginia, who was a cousin to Diana Varner Wakefield. When he was seven years old, John's parents moved to middle Tennessee, where they remained but a short time, and then pushed on to Barren County, Kentucky.

In 1808, the family removed to Illinois Territory, settling where Lebanon, St. Clair County, is now located. During the first two years of life in Illinois, and while the family was "forted," owing to the hostility of the Indians, privations without number were endured. The War of 1812-14, which followed, was particularly aggressive and sanguinary in Illinois. Militia companies, organized for campaign and scouting duties, constantly patroled the state.

Wakefield, though but sixteen years of age, manifested an unusual aptitude for scouting service, and to gratify a passion for that service, he enlisted in the company of Captain Jacob Short, in which he served from February 27 to June 9, 1813. Afterward he served as special scout for General Howard, earning the highest praises from that faithful officer, particularly as the bearer of dispatches, later called "expresses." One of his trips was fraught with such peril that his father applied for a writ of habeas corpus to take him from it; but learning of the issuance of the writ, he stole away in the night and crossed the Mississippi in a canoe, swimming his horse behind. The trip was made in answer to a call from General Russell, then at St. Louis, for a volunteer to carry dispatches to Vin-cennes (called in the vernacular of the day Post Vin-san), through a trackless wilderness of 17 miles, swarming with hostile Indians. It proved as perilous as had been anticipated, but he made it safely, returning by another route. One night he camped in a sinkhole. The following morning was foggy. A war party of unusual size was heard approaching. His horse became nervous and liable at any moment to attract attention; but he hastily threw a blanket over its head, and the party passed within a few feet of the sink-hole, without detecting him.

The dangers and struggles of the Illinois frontiersman during those perilous days cannot be magnified, and Wakefield had his full share of them. At the close of the war he went to Cincinnati, where he studied medicine diligently for a considerable period, afterward going to St. Louis to finish his studies. But it seems that once in possession of his diploma, he decided medicine did not offer him the field anticipated, and at once turned to studying for the bar, to which he was admitted when in his twenty-first year. His examination was conducted at Vandalla, where he settled and remained until 1837, during the last three years of which time he saw much of Abraham Lincoln. As an outgrowth of an intimacy formed in the Black Hawk campaign, Mr. Lincoln, while a member of the legislature, lived with Mr. Wakefield in Vandalia.

In 1818 Wakefield was married to Eliza Thompson, a native of Bourbon County, Kentucky, daughter of Abram Thompson and Elizabeth (Brown) Thompson. One of the most important services rendered by Wakefield, and one which should command the respect of every Illinoisan, was his determined stand against the introduction of slavery in the State of Illinois, attempted during the administration of Governor Edward Coles. The legislature which convened at Vandalia, December 2, 1822, and adjourned February 18, 1823, passed a resolution by infamous means, calling for a constitutional convention, at which an amendment was expected to be framed which would permit slavery in the State. For sixteen months the young State was a battle-ground, during which the anti-convention men were made targets for every manner of insult and assault. Wakefield, being a ready speaker and writer, plunged into the campaign with great vigor, paying his own expenses while canvassing the State, and had the satisfaction of witnessing the rout of the slavery or convention men by a decisive victory. For his services during that campaign, he was elected a member of the next (fourth) House of Representatives, which sat from November 15, 1824, to January 18, 1825 and from January 2 to January 18, 1826. From "The Vandalia Whig" of July 3, 1834, I notice that he was a candidate for Representative against Robert Blackwell and Colonel Samuel Houston, but Mr. Blackwell was elected.

When Governor Reynolds called for volunteers to drive out Black Hawk in 1832, Wakefield enlisted in the company of Captain John Dement. It was mustered into service April 20, but with the entire army was mustered out May 28th, after the unfortunate Stillman's battle. Neither Wakefield nor Captain Dement's company participated in Stillman's battle. When a new levy of troops reached Dixon's Ferry; Wakefield was found enlisted in the company of Captain William L. D. Ewing. Ewing, being elected Major of a spy battalion, served as captain but a day or so, and Captain Samuel Huston (or Houston) succeeded in command. First appointed surgeon, by reason of his medical knowledge, Wakefield was speedily transferred to the scouting service, in which he continued to the end of the war. For his efficient work he was promoted to the rank of Major. At the Bad Axe battle, fought at the mouth of the Bad Axe River, he received a slight wound. As that engagement finished the war and the fighting career of Black Hawk, the army marched overland to Dixon's Ferry, where Wakefield was discharged by Lieutenant Robert Anderson, August 16, 1832.

The following year Major Wakefield wrote the history of that war, which is hereafter set forth. Written when fresh in his memory, and from his daily journal kept without interruption from its beginning to its end, this first history of the war must be accorded accuracy as well as general interest. Inasmuch as the records of the War Department do not disclose the names of many of the officers, the value of the record which Wakefield's book supplied is inconceivable. The first edition ofthe book was published in Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1834, by Calvin Goudy. Its dimensions are 7 by 4 1/8 inches. It contains blank leaf, titlepage, certificate of copyright, four pages of "preface," four pages of "contents " (all of which are numbered as follows: iii not numbered, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, and x), 142 pages of text, beginning with page i (not numbered), and followed from 2 consecutively to and including 142, and two blank leaves. The binding was made in boards with mottled covers, calf back, and red leather label stamped in gilt with the words, " Black Hawk War." The edges were stained a canary color. A second edition, thoroughly revised and very much enlarged, was published at Cincinnati in the year 1836. Only 300 copies were delivered, the others being destroyed by a fire which burned the establishment and its contents. Copies of the latter edition are so rare that not one has been offered for sale for at least fifteen years.

The Black Hawk War having made the people of southern Illinois acquainted with the fertility and richness of the northern part of the State and the southern part of Wisconsin, a series of northward migrations set in. In 1837 Major Wakefield joined in the hegira, and settled in Jo Daviess County, where he remained, with the exception of the years 1839 and 1840, spent in Carroll County, until 1846, when he crossed over into Iowa County, Wisconsin, and there remained until the spring of 1849. In that year he removed to St. Paul, Minnesota, and was elected its first city judge. The winters of Minnesota were so severe that he moved again southward to Allamakee County, Iowa, in 1851, where he lived until 1854. Then he went to Kansas to enjoy its milder climate, and settled at the point which subsequently became Lawrence, whence not more than half a dozen families had preceded him. Becoming a landholder, he remained at that place until the day of his death, June 18, 1873.

Upon the history of Kansas Wakefield left an indelible imprint. There the question of slavery had to be fought as he had fought it in Illinois thirty years before. In his new home the struggle was much longer, and he suffered the loss of much of the considerable wealth which he had accumulated in Minnesota and Iowa. But his fortunes improving, he became a strong factor in moulding Kansas into a rich commonwealth, and his declining years were prosperous. In the struggle in Kansas with the slavery element, he was made the first free-state candidate for delegate to Congress, for which office he received three fourths of the legal votes cast at the election. But it will be remembered, that following the hint of Senator Atchison of Missouri, "When you reside within one day of the Territory, you can send five hundred of your young men who will vote in favor of your institutions," voters were poured into Kansas from Missouri, and the candidate of the slave-holding interests was elected by an enormous majority. Indeed, he received eleven hundred votes more than the number of legal voters in the Territory three months afterward. Wakefield was elected State Treasurer under the Topeka constitution which he had helped to frame, and as chairman of the judiciary committee of the first and many succeeding legislatures, was largely responsible for the State's excellent code of laws.

Lawrence was the storm-center of those perilous times. During the fierce "border troubles," when the Territory was constantly invaded by large bodies of armed men from Missouri, Wakefield was constantly the leader of the free-state settlers, and for his courage and pertinacity in opposing the slavery forces was made the principal target for their attacks. Just west of Lawrence he had built a large house and many substantial out-buildings, but the invaders, on the night of September 1, 1856, fired and burned every building on the place. The fine library in the house and two manuscripts ready for publication, together with 140 acres of wheat and oats in the stack, were destroyed. That disaster involved a loss of $10,000. The attack was so sudden and unexpected, that the escape of the family was nothing short of miraculous.

Judge Wakefield, as he was called the latter years of his life, died at Lawrence June 18,1873, in his seventy-seventh year. To conclude, it should be added that his wife Eliza died in 1871. From the union twelve children were born, eight of whom reached middle age or more. Lysander and Alvin, first and second sons respectively, died at Vandalia in childhood. George Washington, the third son, lost his life by an accident in California when about 45 years of age. Mrs. Mary A. Willard, eldest daughter, died December 7, 1903, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 82. Martha Ann Wakefield died near Lawrence in 1855. Mrs. Emily Terry, third daughter, resides at present in the city of Chicago. Mrs. Eliza J. Snyder, fourth daughter, died at Lawrence, December 7, 1902. William H. T. Wakefield, fourth son, to whom I am under obligation for the facts herein stated, is a resident of Mound City, Kansas. John Alien, Jr., died July 31,1865, aged 29 years. Thomas J., the youngest, was accidentally killed at Denver, Colorado, November i, 1890, by the fall of a derrick. Two daughters, Sarah and Diana, died in infancy.

Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON WAKEFIELD:

George Washington Wakefield was killed in the Kansas raids of 1856. He appears to have moved from Missouri to get away from slavery only to lose his life to the Missouri raiders in the struggle that followed. According to the Wakefield Memorial, George Washington Wakefield, son of John Wakefield was born in South Carolina. He moved with his father to Illinois in 1810. He served in the war of 1812 and the Black Hawk War, moved to Missouri about 1838 and settled in Bates County. In 1854, he moved to Bourbon County, Kansas where he was taken by pro-slavery men, from Missouri, and after being robbed of $3000 of money and livestock, he was carried away and murdered, all because he was a "free state man," leaving his six orphan children destitute on the ashes of their burned home. His wife Ruth Osburn had died just previously.

By Bill Steinbacher-KempLibrarian/ArchivistMcLean County Museum of History

BLOOMINGTON -- One hundred years ago, poor souls suffering from diarrhea or other “bowel complaints” would’ve sought relief by grabbing a 35-cent bottle of Wakefield’s Blackberry Balsam. Concocted and bottled at Dr. Cyrenius Wakefield’s bustling Bloomington factory, Wakefield’s Blackberry Balsam was one of the most popular “patent medicines” of its day.

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, America was awash with these patent medicines, a term for suspect remedies that promised to cure seemingly every affliction known to humankind, from indigestion to paralysis to even “female troubles.”

For instance, Wakefield promised would-be customers that his Blackberry Balsam — featuring the slogan “Once Tried, Always Used”— would also alleviate life-threatening dysentery, and could also be administered by farmers to cure “looseness of the bowels” in newborn livestock. Yet, in this instance at least, there was some pharmacological science behind Wakefield’s claims, since the astringent quality of blackberry bark and root has long been recognized as a diarrhea remedy.

Wakefield, a native of Watertown, N.Y., first arrived in Bloomington in 1837. He taught in area schools, farmed in DeWitt County and eventually went into the dry goods and patent medicine business with his brother Zera. By 1850, Cyrenius Wakefield was back in Bloomington to stay, where his medicine business grew into one of the largest such concerns in downstate Illinois. Like many who sold tonics, pills and creams, Wakefield called himself a doctor, though, like many “doctors” of the day, he had no formal medical training.

By the 1880s, Wakefield & Co., with its factory at the corner of East Washington and Evans streets (today the site of the old Bloomington High School), employed 25 to 35 employees year-round, including women and girls. Not only was Wakefield involved in manufacturing various patent medicines, but he also ran a sizable printing house to churn out advertising literature.

Modern advertising owes its existence to the patent medicine business, as manufacturers like Wakefield relied on promotional giveaways, such as almanacs and account books, to spread their brand-name, cure-all gospel. Another staple of the patent medicine sales pitch was the testimonial, whereby manufacturers would publish supposedly authentic letters from customers effusively praising the life-saving benefits of the company’s miracle nostrums. B.W. Rice of Bethlehem, Ind., for example, said Wakefield’s Cough Syrup saved his sister’s life.“She coughed day and night, and finally came to my house to die,” he wrote. “I immediately got your Cough Syrup and gave her of it freely, and in three weeks she went home; but she did not take her cough with her, for she was well.”

Wakefield’s product line included more than cough syrup and his signature blackberry-flavored tonic. A pocket almanac doubled as a veritable pharmacopeia of the many cure alls manufactured and sold by Wakefield & Co. This almanac featured advertisements and testimonials for Wakefield’s Golden Ointment, good for burns, boils, chapped hands and hemorrhoids; Wakefield’s Worm Destroyer, for the treatment of intestinal parasites in children and adults; and Wakefield’s Liver Pills, helpful for not only liver and kidney troubles, but indigestion and “removing offending matter from the stomach and bowels.”

Cyrenius Wakefield passed away on Feb. 20, 1885, at the age of 70, and he is buried at Evergreen Memorial Cemetery. His business, though, survived into the 20th century.

Passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906 marked the beginning of the end of patent medicines. Even so, the all-American hucksterism of the industry somehow survives today in the marketing of dubious “nutritional supplements” that promise, among other modern-day miracles, weight loss and “male enhancement.”

As late as the 1980s, Wakefield’s Blackberry Balsam was still available in specialty stores, though it was bottled by a New York-based company.

What is a Hoosier?

2008-01-09T23:59:00.001-05:00

From the Indiana Historical Society:

The Word "Hoosier"

For well over a century and a half the people of Indiana have been called Hoosiers. It is one of the oldest of state nicknames and has had a wider acceptance than most. True, there are Buckeyes of Ohio, the Suckers of Illinois and the Tarheels of North Carolina -- but none of these has had the popular usage accorded Hoosier.

But where did Hoosier come from? What is its origin? We know that it came into general usage in the 1830s. John Finley of Richmond wrote a poem, "The Hoosier's Nest," which was used as the "Carrier's Address" of the Indianapolis Journal, Jan. 1, 1833. It was widely copied throughout the country and even abroad. Finley originally wrote Hoosier as "Hoosher." Apparently the poet felt that it was sufficiently familiar to be understandable to his readers. A few days later, on Jan. 8, 1833, at the Jackson Day dinner in Indianapolis, John W. Davis offered "The Hoosher State of Indiana" as a toast. And in August, former Indiana Gov. James B. Ray announced that he intended to publish a newspaper, The Hoosier, at Greencastle, Indiana.

A few instances of the earlier written use of Hoosier have been found. The word appears in the "Carrier's Address" of the Indiana Democrat on Jan. 3, 1832. G. L. Murdock wrote on Feb. 11, 1831, in a letter to Gen. John Tipton, "Our Boat will [be] named the Indiana Hoosier." In a publication printed in 1860, Recollections . . . of the Wabash Valley, Sanford Cox quotes a diary which he dates July 14, 1827, "There is a Yankee trick for you -- done up by a Hoosier." One can only wonder how long before this Hoosier was used orally.

As soon as the nickname came into general use, speculation began as to its origin. Among the more popular theories:

When a visitor hailed a pioneer cabin in Indiana or knocked upon its door, the settler would respond, "Who's yere?" And from this frequent response Indiana became the "Who's yere" or Hoosier state. No one ever explained why this was more typical of Indiana than of Illinois or Ohio.

Indiana rivermen were so spectacularly successful in trouncing or "hushing" their adversaries in the brawling that was then common that they became known as "hushers," and eventually Hoosiers.

There was once a contractor named Hoosier employed on the Louisville and Portland Canal who preferred to hire laborers from Indiana. They were called "Hoosier's men" and eventually all Indianans were called Hoosiers.

A theory attributed to Gov. Joseph Wright derived Hoosier from an Indian word for corn, "hoosa." Indiana flatboatmen taking corn or maize to New Orleans came to be known as "hoosa men" or Hoosiers. Unfortunately for this theory, a search of Indian vocabularies by a careful student of linguistics failed to reveal any such word for corn.

Quite as possible is a facetious explanation offered by "The Hoosier Poet," James Whitcomb Riley. He claimed that Hoosier originated in the pugnacious habits of our early settlers. They were
enthusiastic and vicious fighters who gouged, scratched and bit off noses and ears. This was so common an occurrence that a settler coming into a tavern the morning after a fight and seeing an ear on the floor would touch it with his toe and casually ask, "Whose ear?"

Many have inquired into the origin of Hoosier. But by all odds the most serious student of the matter was Jacob Piatt Dunn, Jr., Indiana historian and longtime secretary of the IHS. Dunn noted that "hoosier" was frequently used in many parts of the South in the 19th century for woodsmen or rough hill people. He traced the word back to "hoozer," in the Cumberland dialect of England. This derives from the Anglo-Saxon word "hoo" meaning high or hill. In the Cumberland dialect, the world "hoozer" meant anything unusually large, presumably like a hill. It is not hard to see how this word was attached to a hill dweller or highlander. Immigrants from Cumberland, England, settled in the southern mountains (Cumberland Mountains, Cumberland River, Cumberland Gap, etc.). Their descendents brought the name with them when they settled in the hills of southern Indiana.

As Indiana writer Meredith Nicholson observed: "The origin of the term 'Hoosier' is not known with certainty. But certain it is that . . . Hoosiers bear their nickname proudly."

Madison, Indiana During WWII

2008-01-09T20:19:00.001-05:00

Many of our ancestors were born and raised in Southern Indiana near Madison and some of our cousins still call this area home. Madison is a beautiful town located on the Ohio River and still looks very much like it did in the 1940s. Here is a glimpse of what Madison was like 60 years ago.

From VisitMadison.Org ...

In the mid-1800’s, all the world seemed to pass through Madison, Indiana. This booming city nestled in the Ohio River Valley, was the center of transportation, industry and commerce for the entire region. Fortunes were made. Empires were built. A spirit of progress and a will to succeed grew among the citizens.

More than 150 years later, much that was special and unique about Madison and Jefferson County then remains unchanged now. Boats and barges still pass on the great northern bend of the Ohio River, surrounded by scenic limestone bluffs. The hills are still tree-covered and the farmlands are still fertile. Many of the grand homes and historic commercial buildings are still in use. And most important,the spirit of progress and the will to succeed is stronger than ever.

Today, the past co-exists with the present in perfect harmony. Madison has been recognized as offering one of the highest qualities of life in the state. This is evident by the recent designation as one of 12 Distinctive Destinations of 2001 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Madison currently has a population of approximately 13,000 people with approximately 30,000 people residing within Jefferson County. The county has some of the finest schools in the state as well as Hanover College, a nationally ranked liberal arts school. There is also an active and thriving cultural movement in the community that includes art festivals, museums, theater, music, entertainment, and numerous local craftsmen and artisans.

Jefferson County is home to one of Indiana’s most beautiful state parks, Clifty Falls. This lush 1200 acre park offers scenic vista, four waterfalls and many hiking trails. Southern Indiana is also a nationally recognized wine region and three award-winning wineries are located within Jefferson County. Madison is also known as an antique mecca in the Midwest. Numerous specialty shops, unique restaurants and quaint B&B’s compliment the historic downtown.

Madison is an ideal place to live, work, raise a family and/or retire. Whether you are looking for someplace different or someplace special… you’ll feel right at home in Historic Madison, located in Jefferson County, Indiana.

Indianapolis, Ind.
February 10, 1970

To My Boys Paul and William

When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed your tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years
Live on, and do all things, just the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days;
But fill each waking hour in useful ways
Reach out your hands in comfort and cheer,
And I in turn, will comfort you both and
hold, you very near;
And never, never, be afraid to die,
For I'll be waiting for you in the sky.
When your grief and pain are over and
The clouds have all rolled away.

- Mother

Sometimes my sea was smooth, and
Sometimes very, very, rough,
But the Lord knew why,
And that was enough.

Genealogy and DNA

2007-12-28T11:40:00.001-05:00

Advances in DNA testing has opened up a new arena in genealogical research. We now have the ability to track our ancestry based on the X and Y chromosomes that we inherit from our parents. By comparing the DNA test results with others, we can determine to what extent we are related to others around the world.

Discover Ancient Ancestry

In addition to finding genetic cousins, DNA test can also reveal our ancient origins. Beginning over 170,000 years ago, our ancient human ancestors migrated out of Africa and began their slow and steady spread across the continents. Over time as these ancestors spread throughout the world and adapted to their new surroundings and environments, their DNA diversified and they became genetically distinct from one another. Today, these differences can be traced through DNA and provide insights on how our ancient ancestors migrated and diversified into distinct populations.

DNA and Genealogy

All humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes, known as "X" and "Y". Males have both an X- and a Y-chromosome (with the Y-chromosome inherited from the father) while females have two X-chromosomes (one X-chromosome inherited from each parent.) Genetic Genealogy is interested in heritage markers or the area of the chromosome which reveals family relatedness.

Father-to-Son

Because the Y-chromosome is passed essentially unchanged from father-to-son, it provides genetic genealogists with a powerful tool for tracing a paternal lineage. Specific portions of the Y-chromosome are analyzed and compared against other participants' Y results to determine the relatedness between the two participants.

Mother-to-Child

Since both parents contribute X-chromosomes to their daughters, a different source of DNA must be used to trace the maternal line. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited by both male and female children exclusively from their mothers and provides insight into one's maternal lineage.

This is just a brief overview of genealogical research with DNA. I will be expanding this analysis and providing more insight into the industry, the tests, and, ultimately, which company we should partner with to expand our research.

Next, I will review the industry and what each of the major companies have to offer.

Vevay Newspaper Indexing Initiative

2007-12-24T16:55:00.000-05:00

Unbeknownst to many Switzerland County researchers is the Vevay newspaper images from the 1800s that are hosted on the Switzerland County High School website. This invaluable resource provides an insight into our ancestors lives and the burgeoning United States. I have found several references to our ancestors in the papers including the untimely death of James Wakefield.

Although an extremely valuable resources there is a lot of difficulty finding information since there is not an index to the names listed in the papers. To remedy this travesty I have decided to take it upon myself to spearhead an indexing effort. I have already begun the indexing but it will take quite awhile for me to complete the effort alone. If you can spare just a few hours of your time we can make finding information on our Switzerland County ancestors a joy instead of a chore.

Contact me and I will provide you with the paper to index, directions, and the database to enter the information into. I will coordinate the volunteer efforts and the integration of the names identified during the indexing efforts. All we need is your help to make this a reality. Please help. Your contribution will make a difference that will be fealt for decades and generations to come.

The Indiana State Library also has a collection of Vevay Newspapers. Again, no index is available. Once we get the SCHS papers indexed are you ready to tackle the State's collection?

Thanks,

Wakefield and Davis Families

2007-12-24T13:00:00.002-05:00

One family that is closely tied to the Wakefield family in the early 1800s is the Davis family. Like the Wakefields, the Davis family migrated from the Carolinas into the newly opened up Indiana territory after the War of 1812. The marriages between the families begin in earnest in the 1820s. In 1821, Matilda Wakefield, daughter of Abel Wakefield and Margaret Jenkins, married David Harrison Davis in Franklin County, Indiana. Matilda’s sister, Rebecca also married a Davis, David A. Davis.

Sarah Wakefield, first cousin of Matilda and Rebecca and daughter of Abel’s brother William Wakefield and Polly Shirley, married a Davis as well, Thorton Davis. Sarah’s sister Betsey and brother John also married into the Davis clan.

The Travis Davis Family

Prior to 1821, the Davis family settled in Franklin County near the Wakefield family. The patriarch of the Davis family, Travis Davis was born in North Carolina and had the following nine children:

John Davis, b. 1811
Thorton Davis, b. 1812
William Davis, b. 1816
Lewis Davis, b. 1820
Annie Davis, b. 1823
Charlotte Davis, b. 1824
Cansadia Davis, b. 1825
Rebecca Davis, b. 1827 in Indiana
Polly Mary Davis, b. 1836

It is known that three of Travis Davis’s children married children of William and Polly (Shirley) Wakefield in the 1830s and 1840s. Thorton Davis married Sarah Wakefield, b. 1813, and they had 9 children while residing in Franklin County. Thorton and Sarah Davis’s children:

Jonathan Davis, b. 1835
William Davis, b. 1836
Millie Davis, b. 1840
Henry Davis, b. 1842
George Davis, b. 1846
Nancy Davis, b. 1851
Levi Davis, b. 1855
Sarah Davis, b. 1858
Mary Davis

Lewis Davis, the 4th oldest child of Travis Davis, married Betsey Wakefield, b. 1819. Travis and Betsey’s children:

Christopher Davis, b. 1843
Thomas Davis, b. 1849
Elizabeth J. Davis, b. 1857

Rebecca Davis, the 8th child of Travis Davis, married John Wakefield, b.1822, on September 24, 1844. It is not known if Rebecca and John had any children together but Rebecca is known to have later married Vincent Harrison, John Henry Thompson, and John Robertson and had at least one child, Scott Harrison, with Vincent Harrison.

Note: The Thorton Davis Farm is located west of Brookville in Franklin County, Indiana. Thorton Davis and his wife Sarah both died in 1861 and were buried on the farm in the Thorton Davis Family Graveyard.

The Rest of the Story

A few decades later the marriages between the families continue. William Davis, son of Thorton Davis married Sarah Higgs. Sarah Higgs was the daughter of Samuel Higgs and Lavica Wakefield. Lavica, b. 1815, was the daughter of William Wakefield and Polly Shirley.

But that is not the end of the story. Margaret Wakefield, daughter of the same William and Polly Wakefield, married Jacob Dooley. Together Margaret and Jacob had three boys: Uriah, Joshua, and Samuel. Uriah married Captoria Davis, daughter of William Davis and Sarah Higgs. As you may recall, Sarah was the granddaughter of William Wakefield and Polly Shirley. Not to be outdone by his brother, Samuel married Captoria’s sister Deborah. To put things in perspective, Uriah and Samuel’s grandparents were William and Polly Wakefield. William and Polly were Captoria and Deborah’s great-grandparents. To add to the confusion, Captoria and Deborah’s father was William Davis. William was the son of Thorton Davis. As you may recall, Thorton married Sarah Wakefield, daughter of the same William Wakefield and Polly (Shirley) Wakefield.

When you take a look at the family tree for these families you can see that William Davis married his first cousin Sarah Higgs and sisters Captoria and Deborah married their first cousins, once removed. In all, five of William and Polly Wakefield children married into the Davis family either directly or indirectly. William and Polly’s children:

Sarah Wakefield, b. 1813
Lavica Wakefield, b. 1815
Margaret Wakefield, b. 1817
Betsey Wakefield, b. 1819
John Wakefield, b. 1822
William Tyner Wakefield, b. 1829

For more information on the Wakefield and Davis families see the Wakefield and Davis book.

The Isaac F. Wakefield Headstone Fund

2007-12-23T22:47:00.000-05:00

In Hanover cemetery in Hanover, Indiana lies Isaac F. Wakefield. Instead of a headstone befitting the man who fathered five generations of descendents there is nothing but a simple stone with the name Wakefield chiseled on it. I want to change that and with your help we will.

The Headstone

On the headstone I would like to have the following:
- Family name, Wakefield, prominently displayed.
- His name, Isaac F. Wakefield.
- His date of birth, July 7, 1861, and date of passing, October 11, 1955.
- A small inscription telling who provided the headstone. Perhaps: "A tribute from his descendents, July 7th, 2008."

Optionally, I would also like to have the following added:
- Picture of Isaac.
- Infomation on Isaac including his parents, spouses, siblings, and children.

The Goal

In the coming weeks I will research various headstone options and narrow down our options and the price. Based on what I have seen so far I anticipate the headstone will be $1000 to $2000.

The Plan

My mom, Sally Meziere, is tracking down the name of the person or group responsible for the maintenance of Hanover Cemetery to ensure we know of any restrictions and the policy for replacing a headstone.
